Deltarune: Chapter 4 is packed with quirky secrets, strange foes, and kicky gear lurking just beyond the main route. One standout find is the Gold Widow armor, a puzzling bit of kit that many fans will overlook unless they purposely roam around-and drop a serious pile of Dark Dollars. So, if you're chasing trophies or simply nosy, here's a quick guide on where to grab it and what the piece really offers.

Where to Begin

Before you can even think about getting the Gold Widow, you’ll need to access a secret donation spot tucked deep in Chapter 4.

Follow these steps to reach it:

1. Progress through Chapter 4 until you gain access to the Second Sanctuary.
2. Head into the old man’s study, a quiet room that leads to a few secret areas.
3. Climb the stairs and go through the first door at the top.
4. Walk left at the first hallway split, you’ll soon come across a hidden waterfall.

This unassuming spot holds a strange mechanic: it accepts Dark Dollar donations and gives you a reward depending on how much you donate overall.

How the Waterfall Donation System Works

When you interact with the waterfall, it invites you to donate Dark Dollars. What you get in return depends on the total amount you’ve contributed, not per donation, but cumulative. Here's how the reward tiers break down:

One Chance Only

Keep in mind, you only get one reward, and it’s based on the highest tier you reach. That means if you cash in 500 D$ and stop, you’ll only get the Revive Mint, and miss out on the Gold Widow entirely. If you’re going for the armor, commit to the full 9,999 D$ upfront.

Gold Widow Armor Stats & Effects

The Gold Widow Armor isn’t really your usual high-end gear; picture it as the kind of odd trophy every collector insists on displaying. Throw it on and you pick up a tiny bump of +1 Attack, +5 Defense, and +1 Magic. Those numbers won't tip any tide alone, yet they let your party shrug off a few extra hits and poke a little harder in mixed fights. The real kicker, though, is its hidden trait: every battle and event now nets you 10 percent less Dark Dollars. You trade part of your pocket change for solid protection, and that unusual balance feels like an Easter egg the devs planted for curious players rather than a mainstream upgrade. Fun fact: if you decide the gimmick isn't worth the grind, you can hawk the armor for 2,500 D$, softening the sting of the whopping 9,999 D$ you had to fork over to grab it in the first place.

The Gold Widow armor is a perfect example of what makes Deltarune special, strange secrets hidden in plain sight, just waiting to be uncovered by players who look twice. It’s expensive, it’s hidden, and it comes with a strange curse. But that’s exactly why it’s so cool.
